Thoughts and Prayers

Hello stranger
Girl’s in danger
But you won’t fight hard enough to save us
And it ain’t you issue
'Cause it ain’t your sister
It ain’t you missus
You don’t get it do you
'Cause if that were me I would’a (Oo)
Maybe I would’ve, thought for a second
Until maybe I should’ve
There’s blood on my hands after all (Oh God)
Blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I’m the good one, ain’t I?
Washed my hands of all my sins
I’m the good guy, ain’t I?
If everyone were like me
Could there be the change I’d like to see
Ain’t I good?
Ain’t I right?
Did I try?
But if I cared
I’d give more than thoughts and prayers
Said the burden’s more than yours to bear
But ego’s on my side
Am I as good as I say if I tried?
Do we try?
We try
We try (Oh)
We try
Do we try?
Hello Papa, the world’s got problems
And you won’t work hard enough to solve 'em
'Cause you hate Christians
And you hate Muslims
And you might kill over race and color
If that happened to someone that I knew
Then I would’ve
Probably laughed at his race jokes, when I shouldn’t
Guess there’s blood on my hands after all
Blood on my hands after all
Say bow my head, said my prayers
I’m the good one, ain’t I?
Oh washed my hands of all my sins
I’m the good guy, ain’t I?
Oh if everyone were like me
Could there be the change I’d like to see
Ain’t I good?
Ain’t I right?
Did I try?
(Yeah yeah)
But if I cared
Oh I’d give more than thoughts and prayers
I said the burden’s more than yours to bear (Oh yeah)
Oh but ego’s on my side
Am I as good as I say if I tried?
Oh do we try?
Do we try?
Do we try?
(Oh)
Oh yeah
Do we try?
Sing, do we try?
Do we try?
Am I as good as I say, if I don’t try?
Oh bow my head, said my prayers (Oh-no-no-no-no-no)
(Washed my hands of all my sins)
Said I wash it off, I wash it off yeah
Oo-oo-yeah
Oh-oh
Ohhh
Dubie-doot-doot-doot-doot-uh
Oh-no-no-no
